David Richard Gallery is pleased to present Tony Robbin’s first solo exhibition with the gallery that explores formal and aesthetic approaches to conveying the fourth dimension using geometric vocabularies and patterning techniques. The presentation, HyperSpace: Line, Color, Form, Pattern includes: five large oil paintings measuring 56 x 70 created from 2017 to 2021; a short video demonstrating the manner in which the paintings are made by braiding several three-dimensional arrays and layers of geometric shapes into tessellations spanning the compositions; an early, rare wall sculpture of steel and translucent colored acrylic planes from 1987 that is lit with colored lights to be viewed with 3-D glasses, allowing the viewer to walk into the fourth dimension and experience what Robbin refers to as “braiding space”; an edition work (a double print) comprised of an offset print on paper with a serigraph on mylar situated an inch apart from and in front of the paper piece from 1992 such that the geometric shapes on the mylar and their cast shadows are visible over the imagery on the printed paper; plus, six unique works on paper created with a computer and pen plotter to lay down layers of geometric shapes and patterns on Arches paper with watercolor applied to selected planar shapes highlighting dimensional elements within the composition.
